Question
What is Lorentz force ?
✓
Answer
Lorentz force is the combination of electric and magnetic force on a point charge due to electromagnetic fields. A particle of charge moving with a velocity $\vec{v}$ in an electric field $\vec{E}$ and a magnetic field $\vec{B}$ experiences a force of
$\vec{F}=q\vec{E}+q\vec{v}\times\vec{B}$
$\vec{F}=q\vec{E}+q\vec{v}\times\vec{B}$
